?A trade war between China and the US seems inevitable,? Pang Zhongying, of Renmin University, told the South China Morning Post.

?Beijing should make some worst-case scenario planning, even though the development may not be as bad as we have expected.?

?He will soon realise that leaders of the two countries must use more mature and effective ways to communicate than trading barbs via Twitter,? an editorial said.

?Frictions between the US and its allies, and trade tensions between the US and China seem inevitable within the four years ahead,? said an editorial by the Global Times, a pro-government tabloid newspaper with a reputation for populist rhetoric.

Adding that ?dramatic changes? were on the way, the newspaper continued: ?The Trump administration will be igniting many ?fires? on its front door and around the world. Let's wait and see when it will be China's turn.?
